Fuller went the full seven innings and threw 102 pitches in the Warhawks’ 2-0 shutout of the Academy for Classical Education. His two strikeouts don’t pop off the page, but in person his ability to keep the ball in the strike zone was dazzling.
Perry Leisure Services’ recreational basketball season has come to a close and there is much worth celebrating for athletic supervisor Albert Crumbley.
The regular season for both baseball and soccer is just about at its end and it’s time to look ahead to the postseason for Houston County’s teams.
There’s only a couple of weeks left in the regular season and region championship series are close, if not here for many Houston County teams.
Two Houston County teams were crowned champions of their respective regions, and there are few if any region games left on the schedule.
Houston County (17-4, 10-2 Region 2-5A) finished their most dominant region series on Friday with 10-0 and 12-0 victories against Coffee (12-9, 5-7 Region).
When Perry (8-6, 7-2 Region 1-4A) beat Benedictine on Tuesday they gave themselves a chance to win the region, and that dream stayed alive on Thursday with a 4-1 win at Warner Robins.
The record in question is how many region championships the Lady Panthers (9-3, 7-0 Region 1-4A) have won consecutively; the number is up to six after Thursday’s 7-0 win against Warner Robins (5-3, 2-2 Region).
The Bears (9-4, 6-3 Region 2-5A) ran away with a 5-0 victory against their county rival Warhawks (11-4, 7-2 Region), all but erasing their region championship hopes and potentially stealing a home playoff game.
Since 2019 there’s only been one year that Houston County (10-2, 9-0 Region 2-5A) was not the region champion.
